It's the great self-persuasion paradox: To believe in yourself, you first have to get yourself to believe in yourself.
Aristotle, the most rational of all rational beings, understood that logic rarely persuades on its own.
Choices complicate things.
Bad news, good news. Stuff happens. Your response determines what kind of soul you have, and how much you live up to that soul.
Opportunity requires a decision.
Chaotic moments—a sudden promotion or a piece of bad news—don't determine your future. Your choices do.
